The raw materials for producing the gypsum product are mainly natural dihydrate gypsum and can also be natural anhydrous gypsum. The present general process at home and abroad is that the dihydrate gypsum raw material is firstly crushed into particles with the particle size of less than 10 cm by a crusher, and then the dihydrate gypsum is crushed in a pulverizer. The crushed powder is heated and dehydrated in an iron frying pan, and the gypsum powder is uniformly heated by continuously stirring during heating. When the dihydrate gypsum is ground in a common ball mill, the local temperature can reach more than 120 ℃ due to the impact of steel balls, the dihydrate gypsum loses water at more than 107 ℃, at the moment, the grinding efficiency is reduced due to the fact that part of dihydrate gypsum is broken, and a large domestic factory does not use a ball mill but uses a Raymond mill with a blast device. However, Raymond mill is expensive and not easy to popularize. On the other hand, in China, due to condition limitation, iron frying pans are produced discontinuously, discharging is carried out after one pan is fried, and then raw materials are added for frying. The gypsum is heated in the pan to discharge a large amount of water, and is in a boiling state, and a large amount of dust is sprayed out. Therefore, the heat efficiency is low, the production efficiency is also low, and meanwhile, the dust is extremely large, the labor condition is poor, and the health of workers is influenced. Although the automatic closed frying pan applied abroad can continuously feed and discharge materials, the yield is not high, the thermal efficiency is low and the price is high, as described in the US 4113836. As for the anhydrous gypsum cementing material prepared by calcining dihydrate gypsum or natural anhydrite at the high temperature of 700-1000 ℃, the calcining tool commonly used at home and abroad is known as a rotary kiln, but the combustion consumption is high, the thermal efficiency is low, and the equipment investment is also large.
The invention aims to overcome the defects of low productivity, poor labor condition or large equipment investment in the gypsum production, change the traditional process flow of crushing → grinding → drying, and provide a method for calcining gypsum (the process flow is crushing → drying → crushing) and special equipment designed for realizing the method: a vertical landslide calcining kiln.
The invention is realized by the following steps: alpha gypsum blocks or natural dihydrate gypsum or natural anhydrous gypsum ore which are treated by pressure of about 2 kilograms and contain free water are crushed to be less than 4 centimeters by a jaw crusher or a hammer crusher or industrial waste gypsum is made into material balls with the diameter of less than 4 centimeters, and then the material balls are processed by a vertical landslide calcining kiln or dried or heated to be dehydrated or calcined into gypsum blocks and then are ground by a grinding device: pulverizing into calcined gypsum powder by common ball mill or Raymond mill.
The temperature of the vertical landslide calcining kiln is controlled to be about 100 ℃, alpha gypsum blocks which are treated by pressure of about 2 kilograms and contain free water are dried, and then the alpha gypsum blocks are ground into alpha gypsum powder by a grinding device.
Controlling the temperature of a vertical landslide calcining kiln to be about 140 ℃, heating and dehydrating natural dihydrate gypsum or industrial waste gypsum pellets into a beta-type hemihydrate gypsum material block, and then grinding into beta-type gypsum powder by using grinding equipment.
Controlling the temperature of a vertical landslide calcining kiln at 700-1000 ℃, calcining natural dihydrate gypsum or natural anhydrite or industrial waste gypsum material balls into I-shaped anhydrous gypsum or floor gypsum blocks, and then grinding the gypsum blocks into gypsum powder by using grinding equipment.
The vertical slide calcining kiln is composed of a chimney, a charging hopper, a discharging port, a combustion chamber, a slide and the like, wherein the slide has 4-5 layers and is composed of a slide frame and slide strips, and the included angle between the slide frame and the slide strips is 5-50 degrees. The slope inclination angle of the slide is 30-50 degrees. The landslide inclination angle may be adjusted by means of an adjustment bracket. The slide frame and the slide strips are made of common cast iron or heat-resistant cast iron or high-temperature-resistant metal and the like. The temperature can be determined according to the use temperature, and when the temperature in the kiln is less than 400 ℃, the slide frame and the slide strips are made of common cast iron. When the temperature in the kiln is less than 900 ℃, the slide frame and the slide strips are made of heat-resistant cast iron. When the temperature in the kiln is more than 900-1100 ℃, the slide frame and the slide strip are made of high-temperature resistant metal. Because the vertical landslide calcining kiln uses a combustion chamber of a semi-gas combustion method or a combustion chamber of a direct-fired combustion method or a fluidized bed furnace and other combustion kilns as combustion chambers, the temperature in the kiln can be controlled to be 100-1100 ℃ as required. The method can be used for drying and dehydrating alpha semi-hydrated gypsum which is treated by about 2 kilograms of pressure and contains free water, can be used for producing beta semi-hydrated gypsum by heating and dehydrating dihydrate gypsum or industrial waste gypsum pellets, and can also be used for calcining I type anhydrous gypsum or floor gypsum at the high temperature of 700-1000 ℃. Adding coarsely crushed natural dihydrate gypsum or natural anhydrous gypsum ore particles with the diameter of about 4 cm or industrial waste gypsum pellets with the diameter of less than 4 cm or alpha gypsum blocks containing free water after being subjected to pressure treatment of about 2 kilograms into a feeding hopper of a vertical landslide calcining kiln, wherein the blocks are distributed on a slide into a thin layer and slide down from the surface of the slide slowly, hot air from a combustion chamber penetrates through a gap space between slide strips from the lower part to heat the blocks, and the blocks are heated by the hot air for 4-5 times when passing through 4-5 layers of slides. And when the material is transferred from the upper layer slide to the next layer slide, the material is just turned over. The material blocks on the upper part do not slide down when the bottom does not discharge, and the whole discharging time is completely controllable (the quantity of discharged materials on the bottom and the quantity of automatically added materials on the upper part). The kiln bottom is provided with two combustion chambers, and can be of a direct-fired type, a semi-gas type or a fluidized bed furnace type. The temperature in the kiln is required to be 100-1100 ℃, the temperature can be controlled by a combustion chamber, and forced ventilation can be considered when the high temperature is required. The dried alpha-type semi-hydrated gypsum blocks or the heated and dehydrated beta-type semi-hydrated gypsum blocks or the calcined I-type anhydrous gypsum or floor gypsum blocks can be ground into the calcined gypsum powder by using a common ball mill.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. energy conservation in a large scale:
the method is characterized in that hot air is directly used for heating in a vertical landslide calcining kiln, and the gypsum powder is heated for 4-5 times along 4-5 layers of slides, so that the preheating and dehydration processes are completed in the kiln, the continuous production can be realized, and the heat efficiency is relatively improved.
The traditional method is to grind the dihydrate gypsum blocks and then stir-fry the dihydrate gypsum blocks into powder, and the dihydrate gypsum powder is put into a ball mill and has the molecular weight of 344.34. The method of the invention is to dehydrate and then grind, and when the gypsum is put into a ball mill, the gypsum is a beta-type semi-hydrated gypsum block, and the molecular weight is 290.28. Compared with the traditional method, the grinding amount is reduced by 15.7 percent, so the energy consumption of the ball mill can be reduced by more than 15.7 percent.
2. The production efficiency is improved:
the traditional method uses an iron pan for processing, has intermittent production, consumes more time and has low production efficiency, which is the weakest link of the processing and the production of the plaster of paris. The method of the invention removes the iron pan, changes the vertical landslide calcining kiln into the iron pan, has the thermal efficiency of 60 percent, can continuously produce and has high speed. And the yield can be greatly improved because the grindability of the raw materials is improved.
② when the material block is the plaster of paris when the material block is put into the ball mill by the method of the invention, the quantity of the plaster of paris is reduced by 15.7 percent compared with the quantity of the plaster of paris when the material block is put into the ball mill by the old method, thus the efficiency of the plaster of paris produced finally can be improved by more than 15.7 percent.
The gypsum blocks are put into the mill, so that no water is separated out during grinding, the efficiency of the mill can be improved, and the common ball mill with low price can be used.
3. The method reduces dust, improves the working conditions of workers, and protects the health of the workers and the environmental sanitation.
4. The process and the equipment are simplified, the investment is reduced, and the economic benefit is improved.
